1 The American Community Survey A Critical Change in the Re-engineering of Census 2010

2 First, a quiz!! What is the difference between short form and long form data on the Decennial Census questionnaire? How often do you use Census data and American FactFinder? Who has heard of, or used, data from ACS?

3 Today s Agenda What is the American Community Survey Comparing ACS with Decennial Census data Methodology Types of Data Quick Guide to 2005 data release of 2004 data Live demonstration Questions and hopefully, some answers

4 What is the ACS The ACS is the first nationwide survey that can be used to monitor annual trends in local communities and make valid comparisons among communities in the years between censuses -Population Reference Bureau

5 What is the American Community Survey? The biggest change in 60 years in conducting the decennial census

6 What is the American Community Survey? A large, continuous demographic survey Produces annual and multi-year estimates of the characteristics of the population and housing Produces characteristics, not a population count Produces information for small areas including tracts, block groups and population subgroups - updated every year Key component of re-engineered 2010 census

7 Key Component of Census 2010 Eliminate the long form* Provide improved knowledge of local areas Ongoing contact with local governments

8 When Will ACS Data Be Available? Now, for population areas larger than 250,000 In 2006 ACS will provide data for areas with populations greater than 65,000 In 2010 Smaller geographies will be available in five-year moving averages

10 But be careful! Current data for ACS does not include data on group quarters population. So keep that in mind if comparing ACS to Decennial Census, long-form data

11 Decennial Census vs. ACS

12 Decennial Census vs. ACS Decennial Census will deal with coverage ACS will be concerned with content ACS sample size will be smaller, primarily due to cost ACS data will be supplied with confidence intervals which will show the margin of sampling error around the estimates Turnaround time on data releases

13 ACS Methodology Questionnaire is mailed every month of every year to a random sample of addresses No address will receive a form more than once every 5 years 3 phases of data collection Mail-out, mail-back Computer assisted telephone interviewing for non-response Computer assisted personal interviewing of a sample of the remaining unanswered forms

14 ACS Methodology, continued ACS will not accept a proxy response (Census does)

15 Reference Period The Census uses April 1 as the base for most questions. Some questions use 1999 as a reference year. ACS reference varies based on which month the form is mailed.

16 Residency Rules Decennial Census Usual place of residence is the standard ACS Current residence, based on a twomonth rule, with some exceptions
